THE LAST SAD LOOK

Through the clouds of sorrow beaming,
See a lonely meteor gleaming
      O’er dark ether’s plain,
Slowly rolls the restless billow,
Where it makes its aching pillow,
      ’Tis the last sad look.

View the setting sun’s bright glory,
Tread the warrior’s bed so gory,
      Watch his faded face.
Azure beauty leaves the sky,
Weakness dulls the soldier’s eye,
      ’Tis the last sad look.

See the moonbeams fondly playing,
Trembling, flying, never staying,
      On the rippled stream.
Then away so slowly stealing,
Farewell stamps a tender feeling,
      ’Tis the last sad look.

Friends and dearer kindred parting,
Silent grief, yet ever starting,
      Glances one soft leave.
Not the world’s gay glittering treasure
Ever bought the mournful pleasure
      Of a last sad look.

“The Lady’s Cabinet Album” (1835)}}
